[@latrisenelson42]

In case some of you young women don't get the message..she is giving you some information that was not handed down to her. So please take notes from her. One of the greatest lengends to have ever done it and been through it and survived it. Salute to you Roxanne Shantae

[@maxdondada]

Salute to the Queen

[@latrisenelson42]

Shawn P. Im sorry that I haven't seen the movie, and that I was going off this snippet of her interview. But how good could her mother be if she was taking care of her sisters. I'm not trying to down play her mom but it is what it is. I totally get what you are saying as well.

[@latrisenelson42]

Christian Barrett I totally agree with you

[@mskeenac21]

Shawn P. Her mother felt bad & bitter of the fact that her boyfriend ruined her future he took the money she worked hard for to move her family out of the projects after that she turned to drinking & Roxanne Shante felt that she had to stay out late, battle rap do whatever she had to do to take care of her family after her mother felt she was being disrespectful & disobedient that’s when things went left

[@AyesheIsAlwaysLovely]

Latrise Nelson Some man ran off with her mother's savings ($20,000) and left her and the kids in the projects. After that she drank liquor all day, leaving Roxanne to raise her 2 sisters.

[@Luxepure1]

I wish the movie was longer it was so good 😩😍😍

[@stngang9522]

I know right

[@youngwanbam]

The champ is here😅😂

[@itzKingIzzo2U]

I can respect the fact that she's not a bitter woman

[@sharonthomas8909]

Kang Izzo Risky Im sure it took time. The Netflix movie she was...she grown now. Lotta bitter ass men killing women out here too.

[@laylahli7558]

If she was bitter she'd have every right to be 🙄

[@itzKingIzzo2U]

laylah li why???? I would like to know what are the qualifications to be rightfully bitter...

[@laylahli7558]

Kang Izzo Risky Getting abused by the industry and tossed out and scammed is one. Getting your ribs broken by a pedophile is another. So many are quick to call a black womans justified anger, bitterness as if any normal person would just let it go. I can tell she's hurt still by the situations that happened to her.

[@itzKingIzzo2U]

laylah li 1st thing if there wasn't no "industry" she wouldn't be able to get her story out there at all.. 2nd the relationship she was in started out as her choice and went bad, this is why you should mature before you enter that type of situation.. That's why they're age limits because your mind is of a child.. My mom and plenty of women been through far worse but bounce back.. I'm just appreciating her growth... Stop the black woman stuff,all people go through stuff especially women... Bitterness is selfishness, u just stuck to your own gripes

[@MelisaDiary]

Can t believe he put a whole price on his child smh $10k ? 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@JM-be8ow]

She spoke about so many positive and wonderful things. He kept reverting back to the domestic abuse. I think she's a class act. Vlad? Not so much...

[@GodsDaughter444]

EXACTLY

[@PhillyDomSideDude]

Vlad a joke

[@Simply.Homicide]

Some men are so jealous of the women in their life. Its ridiculously sad.

[@tristinhall1275]

SupernovaStar you really need to shut the fuck up and relax

[@chrism7163]

@Supernova Star if a women blames a man for all her problems she's a feminist. If a women Hates men shes a feminist. If a women does any thing anti men it would be today's definition of feminist

[@shanika8]

@@chrism7163 my problem is he was abusing her because she was successful and he wanted control over her life she was only 15

[@chrism7163]

@@shanika8 I agree

[@chrism7163]

@Truth Teller yeah men are not feminist, cause it has nothing to do with female rights dumbass😂

[@AmandaNBS]

ROXANNE, your son saved your life...literally!! So happy for all of your success. You're still as beautiful as ever...!! 🖤💛❤💛🖤

[@Andrea-gk1cd]

I went through the same thing, teen mom going through domestic abuse. I left before my kids understood what was going on. I wanted to be rescued as well. Now I don't understand how older women stay in a relationships with abuse. I will never let it happen again as a woman.

[@ksager123]

Andrea cognitive dissonance. they think its ok

[@SuperKillasin]

Andrea I guess at that time your decision in men was very poor but im glad you learned your lesson.

[@Andrea-gk1cd]

xsilentskillzx Of course my decision in choosing a man wasn't good, I was a child myself. It was my parents job to guide me and protect me.

[@laylahli7558]

It's called battered women syndrome and lack of a support system. Instead of asking why women stay we should be dissecting why men think it's fine to hurt women like you and Roxanne and why other men come up with excuses for them.

[@Andrea-gk1cd]

laylah li I was a child, and I knew it was wrong. I left the state to get away. And I know why men abuse women. They are cowards, insure, and they feel it makes them in control an Alfa male.

[@lewmich1234]

Vlad got some crazy questions....."what was it like for your son watching mommy get beat up by daddy"😐😖

[@messiahblack4816]

mike grey that was some insensitive shit to ask. Vlad has no tact...

[@whoisjjcarr]

I died when he said that😂😂😂. He outta pocket.

[@doctorbigsmiles]

You can hear him DROOLING for it, he's disgusting

[@shortythepresident3913]

His name was James Cross. He was a drug dealer from New Jersey. He was later on shot and killed some years later after they broke up.

[@shylaharris5709]

[@taylorsunicornsquad5640]

[@sirresebethea]

Wow I didn’t know he was killed

[@15mzcutiepie]

I feel like back then domestic violence was seen as "normal" and "acceptable"

[@kenyettaready]

Taya Amor. it actually was. there was a law, and I couldn't believe it at first, but the law was a man could divorce his wife but the woman could not divorce her husband....and get alimony or spousal support. or child support. and it was a law where if a man was beating his wife the cops could not intervene. watch the Tracey Thurman story.

[@tristinhall1275]

Taya Amor. In some circles that is considered 'old school'.

[@thaurbanthinker543]

Ahh the good ole days

[@sw01237]

I love her. She is so strong, about her business and an awesome mother and example of a woman. I salute her! As a mom myself she put her son above all else as it should be. She didn't allow anyone to change her mind or influence her negatively and deter her from her first priority, her son.

[@GRSEMETROMALL]

My life is an open book it’s just not an easy read. That’s a good line Rox’s. That’s a good caption for my channel because it applies to a lot of people that are on it maybe including me.

[@ch1kmagnet]

Biggest problem is all these lil girls think because they help raise their siblings makes them think their ready for parenthood. Break the cycle

[@aliciadavis6641]

ch1kmagnet back in the 70’s n 80’s it wasn’t just helping these girls were actually raising they siblings specially in the poor parts or projects were crack was all the craze back then.... moms running the streets so the big sister/brother would step up in fill the shoes of their parents.... so it’s not always the mind set of “I helped raise my siblings that’s wat makes me ready for motherhood” it’s “I raised my siblings so I know if I do have a baby I’ll be prepared for motherhood” n 9 times out of 10 they aren’t trying to get pregnant it just happens

[@ch1kmagnet]

Alicia Davis cooking dinner and making sure they take baths is different than paying bills, doing homework and disciplining

I was born in 94 and Roxanne Shante was the first rap artist I've ever listened to. I remember my dad giving me his old tape player back in like 99 in a bag full of his old tapes, she was my favorite to play. And I knew the song word for word

Roxanne Shante was my protege, I loved her and her music. I can relate, I got pregnant at 15 for a 20 year old man, i thought it was love but as i matured and gotten older i realized i was taken advantage of but im grateful for my son. God makes no mistakes ❤🙏🏽

[@AngelaM731]

She should write a book about her life

I can relate to her story with being a mother...I was a teen mom but late teen...motherhood wasn't hard for me because I wanted to be a mother...

[@289rory]

Man my grandmother tells stories of how she was abused, and I grew up watching my mom fight her SOs. I was a bit throwed off since childhood, but I always promised myself that if a man was to put his hands on me, I’d be sending him to God. Of course that’s a bit hazy in the eyes of the law, so I settled for sending whoever to the hospital. I’m just not the type, can’t see myself getting abused.

[@KS-qf8hd]

You are beautiful inside and out and your strength is outstanding! Thank you so much for your contribution to hip hop! You were one of the defining people that made hip hop what it is. I'm listening to you hear and on SiriousXM and you are the real! You are the same person on wax as you are in reality and that is incredible!! And now you are holding up the culture as ambassador and alumnus and sharing your story which is so moving! I know you're speaking other women but honestly you are speaking to all of us cause I just can get over how humble and real you are! Truly, truly inspiring!! Special thanks to djvlad for the interview! It's so nice to hear from our hip hop heroes especially since the older hip hop generation only got news from word of mouth or magazines. All we had back then mainly was the diss tracks that gave us our impressions of how it was and we lived with that impression for years!

[@djmseclectic]

Much respect! I'm a female rapper and had the honor of meeting her. She was so cool! Let me take a pic in her chain and everything! You can't say that about everybody! She is a legend!

hi there thank u so much for your up load one thing I can truly say is that I miss hip hop 🎶 🎶 so much she's my error I remember so much about this young lady she brings a lot to the table her and Queen La The rappers they have out today or not the same as the 80s rappers it's a big difference and I know a lot of young ones now will disagree but rap is not how it used to be the 80s that was straight up rap ♫ but she's a very strong woman 😀💚💚💚
